Commission to honor Somerdale, Mullica Hill projects

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission is honoring two South Jersey projects.

CooperTowne Center in Somerdale has been named the year's best Land Use Project, according to the commission. It said the $40 million project, led by Mayor Gary Passanante, "transformed Lions Head Plaza, a shopping center that was struggling and almost deserted 10 years ago, into a beautiful mixed-use space boasting housing, retail, and recreation."

The commission also named the Mullica Hill Bypass in Gloucester County as the region's best transportation program. The $16 million Gloucester County project removed a longtime traffic bottleneck in Harrison.

The projects will be honored at a commission event on Thursday in Malvern, Pa.
